Are dinosaur fossils ever found in cold climates?

If you switch it to photobucket you can reduce the size, then edit your post.

It's a bit of trouble, but I for one would appreciate it. That's so big I can't see it.

Yes, dinosaurs lived in environments that saw snow and polar light conditions.
Antarctica and Australia were both below the Antarctic circle during the time of the dinosaurs.
Leaellynasaura has adaptations for the dark conditions including massive eyes.

In Alaska, Hadrosaurs, Cerotopsians and other dinosaur species are commonly found. This area would have been above the Arctic circle and had weather not unlike the New England area does today.

So yeah, dinosaurs lived in snowy places at every corner of the globe.

Oh and Pete... the Green River Shale is 50 mya... post dino.
Never the less, it is subtropical in environment. Clearly warmer than Wyoming is today.

Much of that is thanks to the great inland sea that kept most of the areas temperatures moderate.

I would imagine that the extreme temperatures and think ice sheets of Antarctica would make paleontological excavations very difficult.

it does, but that doesn't stop people.

The climate of an area today is not identical to a climate experienced millions of years ago.

...I think we've already established that.

Well, most people would consider Colorado pretty chilly, and we have an abundance of dinosaur fossils here, especially at

Where is that in Colorado, and why didn't I get a chance to go there when I live in Colorado?

Dinosaur National Monument straddles the Northern Colorado/Utah border. It's remote.
